Pros

Being able to work with some really famous people and industry leaders (artists and athletes). Get to attend some pretty cool events. Social/business connections. Looks great on a resume.

Cons

Absolutely ZERO work-life balance. They want you to work 60 hours during the week and then another 18 on the weekend. The place is almost like a cult where they shove their own product down your throat, and then chastise those that don't drink it if they are at a bar. Very poor upper management that does not work with you, but they are forced to do an in-depth review at the end of the year which was full of inaccurate extrapolations.

Pros

You get to work with the most exciting, adventurous, creative and high performing individuals, and there is a never a dull day. Work hard and play hard is definitely the company motto.

Cons

Work/life balance can sometimes be a struggle when interests and passions are so intermixed with work. There are many perks and assets, but many hours are also required.

Pros

Bar none, hands down one of the most innovative lifestyle marketing companies to ever exist. Once upon a time, Red Bull was the leader in innovative consumer marketing. They are always coming up with something new, different and exciting to market to it's loyal brand followers. You are definitely enabled to drive your own projects the way you want them to be complete, and your creativity is never compartmentalized into a box. As for your co-workers - these are the kind of people you WANT to be your friends: smart, engaging, a little crazy and always willing to do something that may or may not be against the rules.

Cons

No work/life balance. Compensation for work is poor, no incentive structure in marketing because "you're working at all the cool events anyway", bonus and raises are a joke. The expectation is your life is your job and your job is your life. Also - they currently have a big problem with turnover and brand v. product lovers.
